NVIDIA GTX 295 Brings the Pain and Performance

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the is-it-boring-by-your-place-too dept.

Vigile writes "Dual-GPU graphics cards are all the rage and it was a pair of RV770 cores that AMD had to use in order to best the likes of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 280. This time NVIDIA has the goal of taking back the performance crown and the GeForce GTX 295 essentially takes two of the GT200 GPUs used on the GTX 280, shrinks them from 65nm to 55nm, and puts them on a single card. The results are pretty impressive and the GTX 295 dominates in the benchmarks with a price tag of $499."

    Somewhere there is a real press release that is of this same tone from Gillette. Of course there was less cursing and such, but almost as funny. I have a feeling this was written as an exaggeration of the real one.
